A refrigerator is to maintain eatables kept inside at 90C. If room temperature is 360C, calculate the coefficient of performance
Open in App
Solution
Given, the temperature maintained by the refrigerator is 9°C and the room temperature is 36°C.
Let Tref be the temperature inside the refrigerator and Tr be the room temperature, then the expression for coefficient of performance CoP is given as,
CoP=T1T2−T1
Substitute the value in the above expression.
CoP=282309−282=28227=10.4
Hence, the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 10.4.
